The Ideal Girl.

DO you know my ideal girl? She is seldom
to be met with, but nevertheless she exists.
She has modest, girlish sort of way about
her that is very likely to deceive, but to
those who know her well she is the happest,
wittiest, brightest of girls, and every inch
the true woman when fairly aroused to ac-
ton. She may not be the prettiest of girls,
but when she gets fairly started in CONVERSE
tion you feel as if your very soul is being
drawn through her brilliant eyes, and you
become fully convinced that there is some
thing else to live for in this world than sim
ply your individual self When you are
strong and your way is clear before you,
She is girlisl, full of play and song;
but when your heart has been wounded, and
the path before you is dark and trcachcrous,
you will lind this ideal girl of mine both
tender in her sympathies and strong in her
womanhood-;i divine light to lead you
safety through the channels of darkness and
despair. There is one charm in particular
that admire in this ideal girl of mine and
that is she never finds time To gossip over tn,
defects Of her weaker sisters; neither doe,
she find any particular fascination in n man
who has through cunning and strength
caused the downfall and ruin of some poor
wcak-minded girl. Arkansaw Traveller.

THE PoPE's OUTFIT.
Some of the Jubilee Presents and til
Money They Represent.

Money They Represent.
The other day the New York Sun gave
an account of the cost Of an episcopal
outfit for a prelate of the Roman Cath
olic Church. 1t was large amount, but
it is mere bagatelle when compared
with the fortune represented by the
robes and insignia of the Pope. Some
idea of how much can be put into the
Pope's outfit can be got, perhaps, from
the enumeration of few of the jubilee
presents that have been sent to Rome.
The first present of note came from
the Sultan in the shape of an antique
pastoral ring set with precious stones
and valued at $4,000. The Queen Re
gent of Spain has sent another ring, one
sapphire Of which is valued at SB 900.
The Emperor of Germany has sent
mitre worked in gold and incrusted
with rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and
brilliants. 1t cost 10000 francs. The
Empress accompanied this with a set of
mass vestments that cost 10000 francs.
The clergy and laity Of the Archdio-
cesc of Paris subscribed 100000 francs
for tiara. 1t is made on foundation
of silver cloth embroidered in fine
pearls. The triple crown is of gold
studded with 600 diamonds, rubies,
emeralds and sapphires. A large dia-
mond caps the cross on the top. The
Empress of Austria also sends a gold
tiara that cost $50, 900 ilorins. The En-
peror of Austria joined with the ladies
of the capital in sending a pectoral cross
that cost 100000 tlorins. The Due dc
Nemours has also sent a pectoral cross
studded with diamonds and emeralds
The Syrian Catholics sent n cross and
chain that cost 1000 rupees. About tif-
teen pounds of gold are contained in this
present.
Princess Clotilde Buonaparte, sister of
King Humbcrt, has made n magnificent
cope of white satin, embroidered with
flowers. 1t is valued at 10000 francs.
The ladies of Seville, Spain, sent cope
clasp of gold set with $50 precious stones,
mostly diamonds and emeralds. The
diocese Of Valencia contributed won.
derful stone that fairly blazes with da-
monds, rubies and emcralds. The Queen
of Saxony gives II holy water stoup worth
1900 francs.
At his jubilee mass, which he will
celebrate on December 81, the Pope will
wear soutanc Of white Irish poplin
which the Bishop of Armagh, Mgr
Woodlock, has had specially woven fol
that purpose. The lace on his roche
and other vestmcnts comes from Flor
ence, and is simply beyond price, being
the antique work of nuns, which can
not now be duplicated. 1t is customary t.
make money Offering for IL mass, anC
, the collections being made for this pur
pose amount to over 100000.

A Commonplace Mctcorite.

A man came down from Fort Hunter this
morning to see the ''aeroite." A meteor
ologist from Troy arrived in town to-day,
having come in haste, without his dinner,
and was much disappointed when told that
the acrolitc was hoax. II is also stated
that party are on their way hither from
Philadelphia. A big stone did fall in the
place indicated, The only trouble is that,
instead of falling from the sky, wagon
which was loaded broke down with it.
That's ALL but il rather spoils the sensation.

THE MODERN HUSBAND.

A pair of rubber boots she wore,
Her face was all aglow,
As from the path beside her door
She shoveled Off the snow.
She ceased not when reached her side,
But aborcd with will,
And, though her arms were slender, piled
The implement with skill.
"Your husband ma am, wish to see,
About some business"
said to her. Size said TO me,
"Youll find him in, guess.
"Just 60 right in: you needn't ring;
At present, | surmisc,

Upstairs, for exercise"

Eight Thousand Letters Day.

There are in New York no less than 800
firms which receive more than 1000 letters n
day the year round, more than 100 firms that
receive 2,5O0 letters, fifty firms that receive
between 5000 and 1900 letters, and one firm
which receive, an average of 5000 letters u
day, the number frequently running about
10000 in the busy season. Therefore, the

address does not call for an investigations
